Blurting Out | Blurts | Interrupting | Blurting Out Activities

Have you ever been frustrated by students who just keep interrupting when you're trying to teach? Do you have a super talkative class this year? Are you frustrated by students who cut you off constantly during instruction? Help is on the way! The Blurt Chart is a proven technique to help eliminate this classroom management issue!

Why use this?

• Students who interrupt constantly need guidance to help them learn their actions are not showing respect to the instructors or their peers.
• Blurting out is frustrating to both teachers and students!
• The magical Blurt Chart is a fantastic, fun, and interactive intervention to teach students the skills of patience and self-control!
• The best part? It works and it works fast!

What is included with this Blurting Out resource?

• 7 different color schemes for the tokens / Blurt Guys
• Title Posters or letters to cut out for your chart
• Black and white option included

How does the Blurt Chart work?

• If a student talks/interrupts when the teacher is teaching or another student is answering, they are signaled to take down a Blurt Guy / emoji token. (Or you can do it for them.)
• Once they lose all 3 tokens, they will lose out on a predetermined privilege, such as computer time or free choice time.
• Conversely, you can also reward those students who have emojis left at the end of the day!
